We began with a tiny seed of an idea, butthe seed had life and, when planted,God gave growth.– Rev. Art Simon, President Emeritus

The Biblical Basis for Advocacy to End Hunger

Jesus calls us to respond to the
reality of hunger and poverty in our world. He urged his disciples to do the
same, to reflect God’s loving nature. We can model Jesus’ care for vulnerable
people, whether they live next door, in the next state, or across the world.

This booklet identifies nine
biblical themes that inform the mission of Bread for the World. Filled with
scriptural references, this resource provides a meaningful meditation—for
individuals, small groups, or congregations—on our calling to end hunger.

Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation's decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. By changing policies, programs and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist, we provide help and opportunity far beyond the communities where we live. Bread for the World is a 501(c)4 organization. Bread for the World Institute is a 501(c)3 organization.
